Lots of overtime at work which is keeping my painting time low, however I made a little progress on my current batch of Clanrats. The end is nigh!
However, I made the decision the repaint all of my Skaven models so far. I feel that the Mithril Silver highlight on the metal is too stark and takes away too much from the surrounding areas. I will do a Chainmail highlight from now on, which means I have to retouch around 25 models, which is a pain in the butt. But it’s better to correct such a mistake at this paint than to let the dissappointment grow as the armie progresses.

Stahly is the founder of Tale of Painters. He lives in Craftworld Hamburg, located in the north of Germany, where he walks the Path of the Graphic Designer. He transitioned from Lego to Games Workshop models at the tender age of 11 and didn't look back ever since. He is known for bold colour schemes and sharp edge highlights, which he paints with typical German perfectionism (one of the reason he is such a notoriously slow painter).
Repainting's never nice, but you're right, better do it now in that early stage than always being dissatisfied.
I like the greenish straps attaching the blades to the weapon hilts! Gives a sickly, "nurgly" feel to your 'Rats (all things Nurgle are my second obsession, besides Eldar).
